BPro To Update Depth Charts Weekly (& Eventually PECOTA)

Clay Davenport wrote today that he plans to update BPro's depth charts on a weekly basis. Of course, he might be using "weekly" in the same sense Christina Kahrl's does for her Transaction Analysis column, but I'll go with it for now.

That's good news for fantasy fans who are BPro members, as we can get updated dollar values to use in trade analysis. But it's also good news when you throw in Davenport's claim that they'll be updating PECOTA in-season starting... well, at some point. At first, they'll just do a weighted average of pre-season PECOTA and current stats, but the long-term plan is to re-calculate PECOTAs on the fly. How's the transfer of PECOTA from Excel to database coming, guys?

Anyway, if that all comes together, it's pretty cool, and would be the best source of in-season projections and playoff odds, by far.

Good for them

I hope the original projections will still be available.

Indeed, I wish all past years were available, too.

Not to be a jerk about it, but how come Dan and Sean/Chone/Rally manage ( a lot of) this stuff all by themselvs for nothing, but B-P has so much trouble with multiple paid staff members?

I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.
